Summary

To observe the clinical effect and safety of transcranial electrical stimulation on patients with refractory epilepsy before and after treatment and analyze its therapeutic mechanism.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 50 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This clinical trial is studying a medical device called Active Comparator: Bilateral real High definition transcranial direct current stimulation, a medical device called Active Comparator: Unilateral real High definition transcranial direct current stimulation, and others for people with eeg, functional magnetic resonance imaging, and other related conditions. The study is currently recruiting participants at 1 location. People eligible for this study include aged 18 Years to 50 Years.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

DEVICEActive Comparator: Unilateral real High definition transcranial direct current stimulation

Improvement of cortical excitability, unilateral stimulation was effective, and no side effects were observed

DEVICEActive Comparator: Bilateral real High definition transcranial direct current stimulation

Improved cortical excitability, the effect was more obvious than unilateral stimulation, the effect lasted longer, and no side effects were observed

DEVICESham Comparator: Sham High definition transcranial direct current stimulation

The sham stimulation is mainly used for blank control, control variables, and exclude the interference of other factors
